Maya in Warren and I'm new to the site. I wanted to introduce myself and also ask that I also be notified of any local events, etc. I was diagnosed with severe pre-eclampsia a week and one day ago; Lilith was born 7 days ago at 33 6/7. We're thankful to report she's doing great at the ****** NICU ... slowly gaining grams at the moment (weighed 3lb 8oz at birth). She weighed 3lb 4oz this morning.

Hi Maya, I'm not from Michigan, but DH is and we try to get out there at least once a year. I just wanted to welcome you and wish you a big CONGRATULATIONS on the birth of little Lily! I hope that she continues to do well and is home before you know it.

I know your life is a bit crazy right now, but we'd love to hear any updates when you have a minute. Feel free to check out some of the other boards (Parents of Preemies in particular), and please don't hesitate to ask any questions you might have or just vent, if need be.

We will be having a Michigan Walk on June 26,2010 in Lawton Michigan. It is about 20 minutes from Kalamazoo. 90 minutes from Lansing. 2 hours from Detriot Metro. Please contact me for more information. Come walk with us and raise awareness.
